wondering if anyone could shed some light on my fuel gauge problem?
When i fill it up the gauge only reads between 1/2 and 3/4 why is this? And is there any way of fixing it?
Any ideas would be champion

Had the pump out? May have bent the sender rod.

If not:

Take the pump out, you may have to bend the sender rod.

On the other hand the float may be punctured and filling up.

No not had the pump out.

I will get it out and have a good look, why would i have to bend the sender rod?

It would be a 'crude' way of calibrating the sender to the gauge. Much like you would with a ballcock in a cistern.

i got a problem wiv my guage too i fill it up and it reads ok but as soon as i start driving it slowly (but visibly ) goes down to the bottom in a short time lol, hmmm the joys of ownership,

on a serious note it sounds like a problem with ur sender bud ive got a spare float if u need it bud,

Sounds like you need to use the float. It sounds as if yours is punctured and when you fill the tank, it fills up and sinks to the bottom again..
